Opinions on newest banner

[Kram]

EDIT: I'm glad everyone likes the banner. I think this is by far my best. If anyone else looks at this thread I would like you to answer the question: Would you buy one from me? And for how much?
Hello!
If you read in my shop I have temporarily stopped doing commissions to improve on my graphics.
I am still improving but I recently made this banner.
It was FIRST using a new rig and 4 new graphics packs.
There are 2 versions because I am indecisive on which looks better.
V1

V2:

I would love to know what you think.
Banner made for Sparko (this was for free but I am only giving free banners to people of my choosing)

Hey i think the top one looks better as the overall brightness is increased which really helps the colours pop well done think it looks pretty good

Thank you
The reason I posted both is some people like 1 and some people like the other. I think in the end people who like dark styled banners normally prefer #2. That's what I have noticed at least.

I like the top one better because it has more color as stated above. Good job!

They're both pretty good! The only thing is with the second one I feel you kinda removed the color which removes the beauty with it, but good job!

I do prefer V1 as well but when I was talking to some friends while showing them this they 2 of them liked v2 so I thought adding it wouldn't hurt.

Tbh V2 feels like it has some drama effect to it, if you get what I mean, but really great job!

The yellow on the text doesn't look the best for me, text looks better in v2

It's the feeling where darker banners normally have a lot more action going on so by carrying that darkness you kind of get that actiony feel again. Drama kind of just summarizes what I just said too

SO NICE!

Thank you. I looked back on Shaduu's speedart of your banner and even messaged him twitter for some fixes on how to do some of this banner (mostly the Cape)

I like banner one better, I think you got the background nailed down I really just would work on the text graphic side of things now.

I completely agree I still kind of hate the text but I am living with it.

I think they both look amazing! I wish I had creativity :c

Oh cool! I always loved Shaduu's graphics design work.

The top one is clean asf, but the second one looks a little duller. Both are amazing nontheless

He is one of the few people I can watch for Blender tips since very few people who are "well-known" use it.
